Clinical Experience Guarantee & Placement Priority Rules

Washington University School of Law guarantees every interested J.D. student at least one law clinic or externship experience during his or her second or third year of law school.

Placement Priority Rules

3L students have first priority. Although we cannot necessarily meet all student choices of law clinic or externship, our application review process seeks to accommodate those selections.

* Where there are special circumstances, the Associate Dean for Clinical Education may grant an exception to the priority rules.

Out of Town Externships

These include the following externships: Congressional & Administrative Law Externship (DC), New York Regulatory & Business Externship (NY), Patent Law Externships, Corporate Judicial Externship (DE) and International Externships.
